Mamma Mia! has officially become the fastest-selling DVD ever in the UK.

The Abba musical, starring Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep, sold a record 3.125 million copies in its first full week of release, eclipsing other new releases WALL-E and Lee Evans: Big - Live At The O2.

It broke the first day sales record previously held by Titanic last week.

Last month, the movie became the most successful domestic film ever at the British box office, having achieved a £67 million gross compared to the £66 million made by Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
